I suppose it's possible DRI is the problem..I think to turn it on
in XF86Config-4 you need:

Section "Module"
    Load        "dbe"  	# Double buffer extension
    Load	"extmod"
    SubSection  "extmod"
    EndSubSection
    Load        "type1"
    Load        "freetype"
    Load       "glx"

EndSection

(the extmod stuff)
